QuoteReplyTopic: A Remake of a Rip-Off of a Knock-Off... Posted: December 19 2007 at 8:32am

AN ENGLISH LANGUAGE REMAKE of a JAPANESE HORROR FILM THAT WAS a RIP-OFF of at LEAST ONE OTHER JAPANESE HORROR FILM...

SO, in 2008, HOLLYWOOD's BEEN REDUCED to RIPPING OFF OTHER COUNTRY's RIP-OFFS?? STARRING ED BURNS and SHANNYN SOSSAMON (??) ONE MISSED CALL TELLS the ALL-TOO-FAMILIAR TALE of a SERIES of CELL PHONE CALLS in WHICH the RECIPIENTS HEAR THEIR OWN DEATHS in ADVANCE. CAN THEY ALSO HEAR AUDIENCES EVERYWHWERE YELLING: "YO, HOLLYWOOD -- HOW ABOUT SOMETHING ORIGINAL for a CHANGE??"

TO POST YER THOUGHTS, JUST SPEED DIAL "POST a REPLY," and START WAILIN'...

Burns: "Hello, I need my agent, please! First SOUND OF THUNDER and now this...Jeez is my career in the crapper!!"

This looks like it's on par with the remake of When a Stranger Calls. I know you shouldn't hate on a movie just from the trailer, but there are just some films which you know are gonna be one giant sh*t sandwich. (Meet the Spartans anyone?)

Just rented this... Shannyn Sossamon could very well be the dumbest actress ever (this, "Undiscovered", "40 Days And 40 Nights", "The Order", naming her son Audio Science). This could have been a comedy, it was so damn stupid. Example: They hear their own last words in the call. Wouldn't they try to avoid the words that would get them killed? Ray Wise deserves a Worst Supporting Actor nod for his role as an overzealous T.V. show host. And Edward Burns, with this and "27 Dresses" (which was another rental) deserves a Worst Actor "win." I though he was way worse than Sly in "Rambo"!
